Open Letter to Biden: Canada Doesn't Want KXL

Sign this open letter urging Biden to ignore the voices of Big Oil and listen to the people, in Canada and the US, who want bold climate action and massive investments in good, green jobs. Sign the letter today.

According to the US media, Joe Biden is projected to be the next President of the United States. There are a lot of things that could happen now, but one thing is clear. If Joe Biden is headed to the White House, the Keystone XL pipeline, a massive tar sands pipeline we’ve been fighting for a decade, could be cancelled. But, Canadian oil lobbyists, along with Jason Kenney and Justin Trudeau, are trying to convince Biden to go back on this promise.

That's why we're asking people across Canada to sign this open letter urging Biden to ignore the voices of Big Oil and listen to the people, in Canada and the US, who want bold climate action and massive investments in good, green jobs.

Dear Joe Biden,

We want to make it clear that all across Canada, people support your promise to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline.

As we write this, Canada's fossil fuel industry and their friends in government, have already started an all-hands-on-deck lobbying effort to get you to change your mind. But they do not represent us all. In fact, they don’t even represent the opinion of most people in Canada. The overwhelming majority of us are deeply concerned about climate change and support a rapid transition away from fossil fuels.

Like you, we believe this is the moment to tackle the climate crisis and create millions of green jobs. And, we know that building the Keystone XL pipeline doesn’t do either of those things.  This pipeline is still what renowned NASA climate scientist James Hansen called it nearly a decade ago – “a fuse to the biggest carbon bomb on the planet”.

You and former President Barack Obama were right when your administration rejected Keystone XL back in 2015. Now, it’s time to do the right thing again.

Cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline is a necessary part of ensuring that both the United States and Canada do our parts to meet the climate crisis. We ask that you do what’s right and stop this pipeline once and for all.
